The Prisoner (1967)

Free for All - S1-E4

Revealing mistake: When Rover is sent after Number 6, while he is attempting to escape the island in the speedboat, there is an overhead shot of Number 6 in the speedboat and you can see he is being played by a stunt double. (00:29:18)

The Prisoner (1967)

The Chimes of Big Ben - S1-E2

Visible crew/equipment: When Number 2 and Number 6 are talking at the beach there is a shot of Nadia getting into the sea. Just before she takes her sunglasses off you can see rows of spotlights reflected in them. This is because the scene was shot in a studio and not a real beach. (00:15:25)

The Prisoner (1967)

Arrival - S1-E1

Revealing mistake: When the helicopter lands in the field with Number 2 and Number 6 inside, if you look as it sets down you can see a different man (an actual pilot) flying and not the dwarf butler. He isn't even wearing the butler's bowler hat. (00:16:57)

The Prisoner (1967)

Arrival - S1-E1

Visible crew/equipment: In Number 2's chamber Number 6 refuses his offer and says "You won't hold me" as he turns around and goes to walk out. If you look at the bottom right of the screen you can see the shadow of the boom microphone cast on the floor. (00:15:20)
